Linda,

Relationships are the lifeblood of this business...find a way to get involved in your marketplace. A

i like to build my list through personal contacts and direct referrals

Create advocates with every closing and stay in touch.

Networking in your local chamber of commerce and service/social clubs you have authentic interest in.

Ask for referrals from those you close business with & do business with; you're already giving to them, so it's OK to then ask & receive.

Through hard work and a well defined business plan.

Start writing a list of everyone you know and take it to the next level, friends of friends.

Bob has the answer.

IMO PPC is the way to go these days - if your office offers leads, take them. If there is an agent in your office who generates a lot of leads, try to ge their overflow!

Personal contacts that build relationships.

Honesty.

Americans do not move as often as in the past.  It was every 5 years before.

Referral only happen to those younger generation who have friends wanting to purchase. You need to have a niche brand.  Some specialize divorce, probate.  Need to team up with lots of lawyers.

Excellent client service.

Provide great service to my current clients and referrals will come down the road.

Always be prospecting.  

Market yourself and don't buy leads.  Marketing lasts a long time

Network and develop relationships with people. They will refer you and help you build your business.

Bribe, lie, threaten, anything that works!

Networking WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE..... period....

Keeping in contact with past buyers and sellers.

Do an outstanding job with each client. Ask for referrals. Stay in touch with past clients and do so organically.  Ask for referrals.  Do open houses for your own listings and when you don't have one, for other listings in your office.  Fill your pipeline with potential clients and be patient, some will come quickly and some may take weeks, months or even years.  Ask for referrals.

Building relationships ... making connections ... truly being of service. Know your craft. Study and continue to grow yourself. 

AVOID the Guru's that charge a lot of money to tell you to door knock, cold call, pop-by, and beg for business. JUST. DON'T DO IT.

Their experience with you will help continue the relationship beyond a one-deal transaction and they will refer you if they are your biggest fan.
